Enter your answer below and good luck! Tomorrow, we’ll announce today’s winner and the question for Day 12!

I am looking at the new machines and at the older models. The Elna I received in 1978 bit the dust two years ago. It was replaced with a Brother, that is adequate. However, I would like a more powerful machine that offers more features.

If I told my husband I was looking for another machine I think he would either commit me or divorce me, lol. About the only thing I don’t have that I’d like to have is a Felting Machine, so there’s always the possibility that could show up for my birthday or Christmas. Otherwise I will stick with my two embroidery machines, two sergers and a straight stitch I use for quilting, so I’m set. It is fun to look and see all the new bells and whistles on the new machines tho.

Still love my amazing 1964 Singer Touch & Sew. I also have my husband’s grandmother’s 1909 treadle sewing machine that works great and is fun to use. This treadle machine could qualify to be called a “Green” machine for it needs no electricty, just foot power which is also good exercise too.

Still dearly love my 1964 Singer Touch & Sew, it is an amazing machine. I also have my husband’s grandmother’s 1909 treadle sewing machine that still works great and is fun to use. I guess it would qualify to be called a “Green Machine”…for it needs no electricty and the foot power is good exercise.

I don’t think I will be up-grading my sewing/embroidery machine this year. I am thinking of adding a smaller sewing machine to my arsenal. One that will transport light and easy to quilting classes or guild work days. I just think all of these advancements in sewing and embroidery are absolutely wonderful. My mother and my mother-in-law would be right in the middle of this. They both helped me learn to sew and to tailor and I am so grateful to them for this life skill. They would both have a stack of projects for me to do!!! And I would too.!!!

No, I still use the one my Dad got me in HS, back in 81′. I also have my Grandmother’s 1927 Singer treadle machine that I love dearly. I like looking at the new machines, if I did get one, it would be a serger.
